I don’t know how many friends I am going to make with this post, but the Troy Reeder hate seems a little much, no? I get that people wanted Chris Paul Jr. to make the team, I get that Reeder isn’t (likely) a future Hall of Famer, but he is a NFL player, and the amount of people on the internet hating on this man is bonkers.
I admit, it’s insane being a fan of a sports team, and part of the fun is delving into that insanity, but hating on Reeder, a man that wants what is best for your favorite team (if you are a Rams fan), I don’t get it.
Add in that the hate is coming from people who have never played a down in the NFL and again I am taken aback by all the strong reactions to Reeder making the squad.
Will those same haters also apologize if Reeder goes on to have a great season? Will they apologize if he makes a play that saves a game for L.A.? Will they apologize if the Rams are proven right for keeping Reeder?
I’ll level with you, I have bad takes, I say crazy things, I am human, but it’s one thing to have a beer with a buddy and say something negative about a player, it’s another to go on the internet and just trash a man for doing what he loves.
Are some of the negative comments humorous? Of course! Are some of the comments just too negative and irredeemable? I think so.
But hey, what do I know? I am the same man that wants Bob Melvin fired from the San Francisco Giants, and that’s pretty insane considering I have no idea what it takes to manage any baseball team, let alone a MLB team.
So, I, like Taylor Swift, am the problem.
Look, you might be right, Reeder isn’t the best choice, but let’s show some respect, no? I guess it’s the internet, who am I kidding? Let the hate flow through you.
Anyways, best of luck to Reeder, and best of luck to you, dear reader! See what I did there?

“Kendrick was a player I initially projected would make the 53-man roster entering preseason. The emergence of others forced the Rams to say goodbye to the defensive back. Kendrick, an opportunist, now enters a defense that is not only allowed but encouraged to gamble on potential turnover throws.
The Rams kept nine defensive backs on their initial 53-man roster.“
